4 year old girl survives with Monkeys ?

[Schmoe]

This is a hard to believe story IMO

I tried living in the woods on my own as a grown man ... just to see ... just to test myself. It's one helluva lot harder than most people would expect.

Shelter, food, clothing.  Hunting and gathering.

I keep meaning to buy one of those books on things you can forage and eat.  That would be your new Bible

You're not likely to get fat off the land, but you also are less likely to starve entirely to death.

Schmoe: Your 'bible' would probably end up making fire starting easier. LOL

First best survival skill: fishing ... bar none. If you can fish, you can eat most every day. If you're fishing you've probably got a clean enough water source to work with too. Just watch them gators (they're almost as edible). 

For those who've never thought about it: Mammals can tear you to pieces. Even the little ones. And, rigging a functional snare is a skill best acquired before it becomes necessity.

Of course that shit's getting used as fire starter eventually, once I've memorized it 


Depending where you live, I don't think you want to eat fish every day with how contaminated they are.  In my region they say you can pretty much safely eat one or two fish a month out of local waters.

I even hear there was something going around with deer.  Probably by time we get to that point of having to live in the woods, nature will be too fucked anyway to sustain anyone.
